Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 435

A soft and gentle breeze played along with the leaves and the grasses that sent a lofty smell of renewed spirit and refreshed hopes to the world at large. Everyone's eyes were fixed at the horizon—they were expecting something.

"Hailey, it is him! He's back! He's alive!" Denise exclaimed while shaking Hailey's arm. She was overjoyed, and bliss was evident in the way her eyes shimmered with gladness.

But Hailey, on the other hand, knitted her eyebrows and didn't get as excited as Denise. She did not believe that Darren would come back. Besides, she knew that Denise was fond of making stories and always said something weird.

"A man cannot come back from the dead. Denise, are you making a story of your own again?" Hailey said to Denise scolding and shoving the latter slightly away. Yet, Hailey was curious, and her eyes were also fixed at the sky where Denise was staring.

"You are right. Denise is always making stories for herself." A familiar voice was heard from behind. The voice lingered through Hailey's mind; she searched her thoughts as to who owned such ubiquitous voice. Yet, deep inside her, she clearly knew who the man behind that voice was. She just had to make it sure.

Right at that moment, Hailey's slim body stiffened as if she was electrocuted with millions of sparks running through her veins. Without hesitation, she turned around abruptly, finding a familiar face with a beaming smile.

Tick-tat.

Glistening tears fell to the ground like raindrops from the heavy clouds. At that instant, everyone kept their silence and just cherished the moment. With the eerie silence, the sound of the tears falling was very audible. Those were tears of joy for Darren's coming back to life again.

"Long time, no see!" Darren didn't know how to greet them since it had been twenty years in the Ancient Void Battlefield since he left—or he died. It was a really long time for both Hailey and Denise.

Dazed and confused, Hailey was still stunned, not moving an inch. She gazed at Darren with an impulse in her mind that she wanted to rush to him and give him a warm hug. But on the other side, she was hesitating. Actually, she didn't have any physical contact with Darren except for those three days. So she dared not to do that in fear that Darren would misinterpret her actions.

"Well... Are you still mad at me after twenty years?" Darren asked while taking a step closer.

"No! I never really got mad at you," with a gentle, yet quivering voice, Hailey said. While she raised her beautiful eyes to have a closer look at Darren, she summoned her courage and flew to Darren with her arms open wide.

"Great! It is really Darren! You are alive!"

Just when Hailey flew over to Darren, two figures showed up and rushed towards Darren and gave him a big hug.

"Darren!"

Another white figure appeared suddenly and put his arm around Darren's neck. Hugging him in such a choking manner that Darren was annoyed momentarily.

"Finley! Get away from me! Are you trying to strangle me and not let me breathe?" Darren shouted at once.

"Master, I have been waiting for you for a long time." With a booming voice, a huge body as big as a dwarf mountain started to fall towards Darren.

"Damned! Run away!"

Seeing the Water Kylin falling to the ground, all of them, who had gathered around Darren, ran away at once.
